Implants

What are Implants?

Implants are titanium screws that are placed directly in the area of the missing tooth inside the bone. The bone fuses around the implant and acts as the “root” for the missing tooth. A crown is then placed on this screw to mimic the original tooth.

An implant is usually the best solution to replace a missing tooth because it acts most like the original. Implants can also be used to replace several missing teeth or an entire dentition!

Although they are one of the more expensive solutions, implants offer a more natural look and feel almost as good as the originals. Implants have a very high success rate, and while the crown may need to be replaced due to wear and tear, it is estimated that some implants can last a lifetime! They can help prevent drifting of teeth and restore your smile and bite pattern. They can also be used to secure dentures or bridges firmly in place.

Our On-Staff Periodontist

Dr. Michael Landzberg is the staff periodontist for our offices. He works from our clinic on select days of the week. This makes the referral process much easier, and you will be seen for your implant much quicker – usually within a week for your initial consultation.

If you are in need of a dental implant, our dentists will refer you to Dr. Landzberg. After an initial consultation, he will place your implant and you will return to our dentist to place the crown on the implant.
